I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
At the Museum of Anthropology, starting Thursday, 19 March 2026, and running through to 03 January 2027, is the world premiere exhibition of Tupananchiskama: Ancient Andean Cosmovision. It’s an exhibit curated by Peruvian anthropology professor Luis Manuel González, who joins me now. I’ll ask him about teaching at the University of British Columbia, and going through the Museum’s collection of ancient Andean artifacts from ceramic, textile, bone, shell, and wood. There are items going back over 2,500 years. I’ll ask Luis about what this word from the Indigenous Andean language of Quechua, Tupananchiskama means, and what he hopes visitors to the Museum will get out of this exhibit. Visit the museum’s website for more information: www.moa.ubc.ca. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Luis Manuel González; Professor González, good morning.
